QUERY: debugging ASP VBScript

I am currently developing a website in ASP (VBScript) using MS Visual C#.NET
IDE. I just create a new "ASP.NET Web Application" and point to my local
webserver (IIS) of my website address. Then I just go through each
file/folder and right-click, selecting "Include in project". The IDE is nice
in that it checks, verifies id tags, etc. What am wondering is whether it's
possible to debug my ASP website using the MS Visual Studio.NET's debugger.

This is a contradiction in terms. VBScript is typically used in classic ASP
applications (to which this newsgroup is devoted). Are you creating an
ASP.Net application (.aspx) or a classic ASP application (.asp)?

I have seen assertions in this newsgroup that classic ASP code can be
debugged using VS.Net but I have never tried it myself. A more relevant
newsgroup would be microsoft.public.vsnet.debugging

Post more details to the newsgroup I mentioned above. You won't get any help
by saying " ... can't seem to get it working." You need to provide details
about your symptoms.

PS. I'm removing the components group from this crosspost - it is completely
irrelevant.

Very true

huh? There is no reason one could not create a script block for vbscript
code in a .aspx page ... not much reason to do so, but there is nothing to
prevent it.
